` Z` ofwhieh the following isa full, olea'r',and"ex aet description.

This Ainvention relates' to a bottle equipped with certain noveldevioes for preventing the vintroduction of' liquids into the bottle after -f litsoijiginal lcontentshavefbeeri fdeeanted.

The liquid will now be free to run out; butit cannot be forced up through the neck, because of the volume of air in the bottle, which air cannot escape to make room for the entering liquid.

Various changes in the form and details of my invention may be resorted to'at will without departing from the spirit thereof. Hence I consider myself entitled to all such forms as may lie Within the intent of my claims,

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patentl. The combination with a bottle, of a holder in the neck thereof, a tube provided with a closed upper end and an intermediate opening, said tube being adjustably fitted in the holder and the holder being capable of inclosing said opening, and a cap fastened to the upper end of the tube and inclosing the major part of the tube, said cap extending downward and being movable with the tube into and out of engagement with the upper end of the neck of the bottle.

2. The combination with a bottle, of a holderin the neck thereof, and a tube with a closed upper end and an intermediate opening, said tube being adjustably fitted in the holder and the holder being capable of closing the said opening, a spout projecting upward from the neck of the bottle and surrounding the tube, and a cap fastened to the tube and inclosing the spout, for the purpose specified. t

3. The combination with a bottle, of a cup Set into the neck thereof and having a contraction at its upper end forming a holder, the cup also having an opening in its bottom, a tube set in the holder, said tube being closed at its upper end and having an opening intermediate its endsa springsustained means in the tube for commanding the liquid ow through the opening, and a weight in the cup, `said Weight normally closing the opening in the bottom of the cup and being capable of rolling into the tube to actuate the said spring-sustained means therein.

4. The combination with a bottle, `of a holder in the neck thereof, a tube having a closed upper end and an opening intermediate its ends, said tube being adjustably fitted in the holder and the holder being capable of closing said opening, a spring-actuated valve in the tube, and a weight arranged below the valve and capable of entering the tube to opentlie Valve.

5. The combination with a bottle, of a holder in the lneck thereof, and a tube with a closed upper end and an intermediate opening, said tube being adjustably fitted in the holder and the holder being capable of closing the said opening, a spout projectingr outward from the neck of the bottle and surrounding tlie tube, a cap fastened to the tube and inclosing the spout, for the purpose specified, a Valve arranged in the tube, and a weight located below the valve and capable of entering thetube to open the valve.

6. rllhe combination with a bottle, of a cup set into the neck thereof and having a contraction at its upper part forming a holder, the cup also havingan opening in its bottom,

a tube located adjustably in the holder, the

tube having a closed upper end and an intermediate opening, a Valve arranged in the tube, and a weight'carried in the cup and capable of entering the tube to open the valve. In testimony` whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of' two subscribing witnesses.
